Chelation therapy is a medical treatment procedure to remove any heavy metal from the body with the help of chelating agents. These chelating agents bind to the heavy metals in the bloodstream, forming a complex that is excreted through urine. Chelation therapy has been primarily used for treating lead poisoning and iron overload conditions such as thalassemia and hemochromatosis. It can help improve circulation and reduce the risk of heart disease by removing calcium deposits from the arteries.

Chelation therapy is an FDA-approved treatment procedure, known to treat problems caused by too heavy metals like lead and mercury in the body. There are different kinds of chelating agents that can attach to different metals. These agents are put into the bloodstream and move around, grabbing onto the metals. Then, they make compounds with the metals, and the body gets rid of them through the kidneys and urine.
